Figure 4.

A) Time lapse of NPC spreading in ALL condition and neurosphere formation in YIGSR condition; scale bar: 100 μm. B) Percentage of cell spreading over 12 h in ALL condition versus percentage of neurospheres formed in YIGSR only condition. NPCs take around 12 h to fully spread in MAP scaffolds, whereas neurosphere formation takes ≈6 h. The error bars represent the standard deviation. C) NPCs can be seen attaching and contracting and moving the microgels within the MAP scaffold for up to 4 days after seeding. Meanwhile, neurospheres can be seen reaching for other NPCs but without perturbing or attaching to microgels within the scaffolds. Scale bar: 100 μm. D) Plot of microgels displacement from origin from day 2 to day 4 in ALL condition and bar graph comparing microgel displacement between YIGSR only and ALL conditions, n = 6. Tukey’s multiple comparison test (P < 0.05) (n = 3 unless otherwise specified).
